The short version

Diskly has no account and no analytics. The only thing the app ever sends is a daily update check carrying its version and a random number, described below. The only thing we keep about you is what you choose to send through the beta sign-up form.

What the app does

Diskly reads the sizes, names and dates of files on your Mac to show you where your storage goes. That information stays on your Mac. Diskly keeps a few small files of its own, such as remembered scans and a list of what you deleted, in its folder in your Library, so it can open quickly and show Recently Deleted.

The app has no account, no analytics and no crash reporting, and nothing about your files leaves your Mac. The only thing it sends is, about once a day, a request to diskly.net asking whether a newer version of Diskly exists. That request carries the Diskly version and a random number the app made up on first launch, nothing else: no name, no email, no IP address kept, nothing about your Mac or your files. The random number lets us count how many Macs run Diskly and whether people come back; it can't be linked to you. Turning off "Check for updates automatically" in Settings forgets the number and stops the requests.

This website

This site doesn't use cookies or trackers. Like any website, the server that hosts it may keep standard access logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, for security and reliability.

When you click Download, your browser sends an empty signal that adds one to a count of downloads for that day. Only the date and the number are kept, with nothing about you.

The sign-up and update servers have hourly limits, so a flood of requests can't run up costs or drown out real people.

The beta sign-up form

If you join the beta, we keep your email address and your three answers (which Mac you have, how full your disk is and how comfortable you are with technical things), along with the date you signed up. We use them only to run the beta: to choose testers, understand feedback and email you about new versions. We don't sell them or share them for marketing.

They're stored on Amazon Web Services in Mumbai, India, and we get an email notification with your answers when you sign up. Our sign-up system doesn't store your IP address, though Amazon may process it briefly to deliver the request.

We keep them until the beta ends or you ask us to delete them. To leave the beta or have your details deleted, email hello@diskly.net.
